A brief break was declared on the finish of the primary spherical. 

Zeke had appeared significantly smug on the embedded arrows on the goal. Each single considered one of his arrows hit bullseye. One of many arrows had pierced by way of one other simply to assert the identical spot. 

That simply confirmed how good he was. 

Everybody might see how his head had expanded from all of the praises and woos from his fan membership within the spectators seats. A few of them even puzzled how he might carry such an obese head on a regular basis. 

The variety of the individuals had been minimize all the way down to about three quarters of its unique quantity. The subsequent spherical was the looking sport. This time, the host guided them out from the stadium and had them line up in entrance of the locked coaching floor that was positioned proper behind their faculty. 

Zeke squinted on the massive signal nailed on the big tree trunk within the entrance. 

[THE ENCHANTED FOREST] 

Zeke’s face was stuffed with black traces. What enchanted forest?! There was nothing magical or mystical in any respect concerning the forest. It solely gave off an eerie feeling just like the creatures inside have been all ready for them to be their subsequent meal. 

Regardless of the protection measures they constructed across the forest, a method in meant a method out. As soon as coming into, there was no strategy to exit until the guards opened the doorway for you. Apart from, the forest was greater than 30 km, so hazard was inevitable. 

And their weapon was solely a bow! Nothing else! 

As well as, in consideration to the extent of the mentality of every participant, the college had arrange boundary limitations throughout the forest to separate between carnivores and herbivores. 

The second spherical of the match was to check the participant’s complete talents and their teamwork, requiring them to move by way of the enchanted forest inside 18 hours. It was like they have been being thrusted right into a hellhole. 

The extra harmful the creature they hunted, the upper the purpose. 

“18 hours?” Zeke rapidly calculated in his thoughts. It was noon proper now, round 2-3 p.m. In the event that they began the second spherical now, they might possible be staying within the forest for the night time. 

And to be sincere, Zeke discovered this sport way more thrilling than the check earlier than. This looking was new and solely established for 4 years. Earlier than, it was a racehorse. 

He could not rely what number of occasions he had fallen off the horse throughout coaching. As a lot as he beloved animals, horses by no means appeared to love him and all the time tried to throw him off. 

Which made him surprise what his ancestors had ever accomplished to offend the ancestors of horses. Zeke silently sighed in his coronary heart as he heard the host saying that they selected their companion for the second spherical. 

“Hey, I am wanting for–” 

Zeke choked on his saliva. Silver. 

The colour that had him jumped at each second. His coronary heart thumped in pleasure and Zeke felt a lump had lodged inside his throat. Jian Yu stood instantly in entrance of him together with his arms on both aspect of his hɨps. 

Snowflakes danced within the air, swaying in a delicate rhythm round him. The surroundings behind him was white and the Silverette Beta appeared like he dominated over the snow. 

When one of many flakes landed on his nostril, Zeke had the sudden urge to brush it off for him. 

The arm on his shoulder all of a sudden tightened and strangled Zeke. Mika dragged him away, out of Jian Yu’s earshot and pulled him nearer to say one thing. 

“Yo, you fortunate bastard. The love of your life simply volunteered to be your companion for the second spherical,” Mika wiggled his eyebrows at Zeke as he whispered. “No must thank me, no must thank me, in fact I’ll hand over my bestfriend–” 

Mika was minimize off mid-sentence when Zeke took maintain of his neck and choked him. The tables had turned. “Are you out of your thoughts?!” 

The strangled Mika struggled to talk. “Aren’t you the one consuming your ȧss off and crying like a baby– akh!!” 

“It is not prefer it issues a lot in case your companion is a Beta.” Mika gently identified. 

“It is as a result of he’s a Beta that I must be extra cautious so I can see little me and him operating round sooner or later! I’ve to cease taking so many capsules!” Zeke ġrȯȧnėd in frustration. 

“…However I already stated sure?” Mika timidly voiced. 

Listening to this, Zeke winced inwardly. He slowly turned his head in the direction of the place Jian Yu was, solely to see he now had his arms crossed over his ċhėst and them with a tilted head. A raised eyebrow and a cute little smile on his lips. 

By some means the lovable smile did not appear cute in any respect anymore! It was as if there was one thing hidden in it! 

Zeke all of a sudden felt like crying out. He was closely anxious. Staying with Jian Yu for a day in a harmful forest sounded nice but disagreeable on the similar time. It could have been a distinct matter if that incident hadn’t occurred and when he wasn’t in his pre-rut. 

As if sensing his fear, Jian Yu slowly stepped as much as them and spoke calmly. “Don’t be concerned, I positively will not drag you down.” 

“After all, you will not. I must bother you as a substitute.” Zeke straightened up, a stiff smile on his face as he saved on smacking Mika on the again harshly. 

It was all Mika’s fault if he ever got here again impotent, whether or not from the overuse of the capsules or being chopped off by Jian Yu.
